Choose Christmas decorations in colors that match or nicely contrast interior design. To create harmonious look opt for one or several colors to create a consistent look.

Whites and Pastels

White or pastel walls and neutral or black furniture can handle many different colors. If the room is decorated in neutrals and pastels Christmas decorations can be a great way of adding a splash of color and enjoy brights even if it’s temporarily. Choose reds, purples, aqua, royal blue and pinks.

Multicolor

If your home decor has many colors and patterns white and metallics will stand out and won’t conflict with the patterns. If the decor is minimalist but bright you can add different brights mixed with silver or white if you still want a bright Christmas decor. Summery floral upholstery can be covered with white or neutral coverlets to neutralize conflicting patterns.

On the contrary color on color can create a very rich and lively look. Think how interior colors match of contrast with the Christmas decorations and what look and mood you want to achieve.
